Abstract
PROF. MCDOWALL is to be congratulated on the production of a comprehensive 'Handbook' on the control of the circulation of the blood, with seven thousand references to other works. It is surprising that he has found time to write it without interrupting either his teaching or his research work. His book covers the ground as completely as such books can, and does not follow the easy course of disposing of early work by reference to previous reviews, but contains much discussion of work published before 1900, where such work is still considered important.
